Hi! 👋 Here's our #introduction. We're BBC Research & Development; we explore and test new technology to discover how the BBC can best make use of it in the future. For 100 years our engineers have been at the forefront of developments in broadcasting. We're now researching how everyone could get TV & radio via the internet – along with all the flexibility and creativity that brings. 5G, AI, next-gen audio, UHD, personal data… we are investigating all these – and more! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzztGFXYR1Y
You're viewing a single thread.
Would love to see more news outlets doing this.
Breaking News: Fox News has defederated NPR, PBS, BBC, NYT, Washington Post, The Associated Press, CNN, MSNBC, and various other mastodon instances run by what they deem as "the liberal woke media". MSNBC defederates Fox News in retaliation.
I know you're joking but it wouldn't make much difference to users if news organisations defederated from each other, most users will be on 3rd party instances.
You know a large portion of the FOX audience would only use their echo chamber of an instance.
No idea, I'm not American, I've heard of Fox because of the intro to Star Wars, and I've heard that they're also a bit racist... kind of incongruous to me but anyway...
These sorts of instances are private - you can't sign up to them, only the new organizations post on them.
Where is it written that a corporate instance has to be private? Just because this one is doesn't mean every single one would be.
It would be funny to watch though
